Not so hot...serves a very basic purpose and is solid enough but looks and feels pretty cheap.  Also, the surface doesn't hold up well at all:  peels and cracks easily.  Certainly use a coaster every time or put a decorative/protective "mat" of some type on the table top. If you, as I, view this as an inexpensive, "disposable" table (I tossed mine - satisfied I had gotten my money's worth - after a year when I moved) then you too will be satisfied.
